The last class, we talked about the future tense. I said that the endings of the verbs are the same for all the infinitive verbs. They are regular verbs. Let´s answer the exercise suggested in the last class and we’ll continue with the irregular future verbs.
Exercises: write sentences in future tense, use the following verbs, and follow the example.
Limpiar (to look) Yo limpiaré el carro
Escribir / manejar / defender / caminar / leer / ir / estudiar / cenar
| Infinitive Verb | Sentence |
|---|---|
| Escribir (to write) | Yo escribiré un libro |
| Manejar (to drive) | Ella manejará |
| Defender (to defend) | Ustedes defenderán sus derechos |
| -------- | --------- |
| Caminar (to walk) | Yo caminaré por el parque |
| Leer (to read) | Ella leerá el periódico |
| Ir (to go) | Nosostros iremos al cine |
| -------- | --------- |
| Estudiar (to study) | Tú estudiarás inglés |
| Cenar (to eat dinner) | Ellas cenarán juntas |
Do you remember the endings of the regular future verbs explained the last class? look at the tablebox above and compare. This is the review:
| Yo | -é |
| --------|---------|
| Tú | -ás |
| Ella, él, eso | á|
| Nosotros | -emos |
| --------|---------|
|Ustedes, ellos, ellas | -án |
The ending vowels are accented, except the verb conjugated for ‘we’ (nosotros)
The irregular future verbs has the same endings of the regular ones. The irregular future form changed a little by adding or a taking out a letter, let’s see some examples:
Examples:
caber (to fit)
| Yo | cabré |
| Tú | cabrás |
| Ella, él, eso | cabrá|
| Nosotros | cabremos |
|Ustedes, ellos, ellas | cabrán |
Decir (to say)
| Yo | diré |
| Tú | dirás |
| Ella, él, eso | dirá|
| Nosotros | diremos |
|Ustedes, ellos, ellas | dirán |
Notice the little change that the infinitive verb suffers.
Exercises: write sentences in future tense, use the following verbs, and follow the example.
Venir (to come) Yo vendré el lunes
Tener / caber / poner / querer / saber / valer / decir / haber
